He who obtains has little. He who scatters has much.

Summary

This quote suggests that accumulating possessions or wealth on an individual level does not bring true fulfillment or abundance. Instead, it implies that one who gives generously and shares their resources with others experiences a greater sense of abundance and richness in life.
